The purpose of the study was to predict mathematics achievement with self-confidence in mathematics, actual work effort in mathematics, and perceived importance of work effort in mathematics, and to investigate the gender differences with respect to those variables. The study was conducted in Ankara, Turkey with 157 eight-grade students (87 boys, 70 girls) from a private school. The following measuring instruments were used: (1) Confidence in Learning Mathematics Scale, (2) Effort as a Mediator of Mathematical Ability Scale, (3) Homeworks and Mathematics Achievement Tests. The validity and reliability of the measuring instruments were tested by the researcher. The data of this study were analyzed by using Stepwise Multiple Regression Analysis and Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA). The results of the study indicated that (1) the combined effect of three predictor variables (Self-confidence, actual work effort, and perceived Importance of work effort) on students&rsquo / mathematics achievement was significant (R2adj=0.543). Girls&rsquo / mathematics achievement was significantly (R2adj=0.531) affected by three predictor variables (Self-confidence, actual work effort, and perceived importance of work effort). Whereas for boys, two variables (Self-confidence and actual work effort) were the predictors which had a significant combined effect on mathematics achievement (R2adj=0.539). (2) There was no statistically significant mean difference between girls and boys with respect to self-confidence, actual work effort, perceived importance of work effort and mathematics achievement.

The service is offered in order to be a time for students with learning disabilities so that they may have a space to remedy their difficulties. The service is offered for students with learning disabilities so that they may have time and space to remedy their difficulties. The service takes place twice a week for a total of two hours per week. The relationship between what is prescribed for the purposes of answering the teacher's task and what actually happens in reality during its execution, observing what the teacher puts in motion for its realization will be observed, which often extrapolates what is prescribed and many see no setting actions that are invisible in everyday school life. Documents that say something about the service will be analyzed (RME). School history as a formal institution and the teacher's role in dealing with knowledge will also be analyzed. Methodologically held -If observations of care, interviews and instruction to double. The theoretical framework lies in the field of French-based ergonomics and seeks to recognize and locate in this field of study the distance between prescribed work and real work and how this distance is managed by the worker in his work activity. / Este estudo insere-se na linha de pesquisa, Trabalho, Educação e Movimentos Sociais e tem por objetivo compreender como professores realizam o atendimento individualizado, na Rede Municipal de Goiânia através de um estudo de caso em uma escola de ciclo I. O atendimento é ofertado com o intuito de ser um momento para que o aluno com dificuldade de aprendizagem possa ter um espaço para sanar suas dificuldades. Ocorrendo duas vezes na semana, no total de 2 horas aula. Foi observada a relação que existe entre o que é prescrito para a realização dessa tarefa do professor do atendimento e o que de fato ocorre na realidade durante a sua execução, observando o que o docente põe em movimento para a realização da sua atividade, muitas vezes, extrapolando o que está prescrito, configurando ações que são invisíveis no cotidiano escolar. Foram analisados documentos da RME que abordam o atendimento e o funcionamento da escola de ciclos, também foi feita a análise do histórico da escola como instituição formal e do papel do professor no trato com o conhecimento. Metodologicamente realizou -se observações do atendimento, entrevistas e instrução ao sósia. O referencial teórico utilizado situa-se no campo da ergonomia de base francesa e busca reconhecer e localizar nesse estudo de campo a distância entre o trabalho prescrito e o trabalho real e como esta distância é gerida pelo trabalhador em sua atividade de trabalho.

Le travail des chefs d’établissement (ChE) a évolué au gré des politiques éducatives. Ces derniers deviennent des agents du changement ou managers dans des établissements autonomes soumis à l'obligation de résultats. En France en 2006, les ChE rencontrent de nouveaux défis avec les réseaux ambition réussite (RAR) au collège. Une situation inédite qui pose une question nouvelle aux ChE : comment piloter des équipes composites dans un collège en RAR ? Le parti pris dans cette thèse est celui de l’ergonomie de l’activité qui questionne un paradoxe : d’un côté, la focale est mise sur le développement du travail collectif dans les établissements et son impact sur les performances, d’un autre côté sont négligés l'organisation du travail à laquelle se livrent les cadres pédagogiques comme le travail d'organisation des professeurs pour faire vivre ces collectifs. Le but ici est de montrer l’importance du travail réel pour comprendre les conditions et difficultés des cadres pédagogiques pour organiser le travail des professeurs. / Headmasters' work has been changing with educational politicies. Headmasters are becoming agents for change or managers in schools wich are independent and under an obligation of results. In France in 2006, headmasters are challenged with the reform of Ambition success networks. An unprecedented situation that raises the question : how to manage heterogeneous teams ? This thesis uses the ergonomic approach to the activity in order to study a paradox : on the one hand, the focus is put on collective work and its impact on performance, on the other hand, the organisation of the work by headmasters and the work of organisation by teachers are ignored. The aim is to show the importance of actual work in order to understand conditions and difficulties of the work of organisation in wich headmasters are engaged.
